Abusufian Sk @ Asim Sk v. State Of West Bengal
AD 40 December 18, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 3923 of 2025 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Berhampore P.S.
Case No.515 of dated 13.03.2025 under Sections 108/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of:
Abusufian Sk @ Asim Sk ... petitioner Mr. Arnab Chatterjee ... for the petitioner Mr. Saibal Bapuli, ld. APP Mr. M.F.A. Begg ... for the State Mr. Niladri Bhattacharjee ... for the de facto complainant Report filed by the State is taken on record. Heard learned counsels for the parties.
Perused the case diary.
It appears from the statement of a relative of the victim that marriage was fixed between the petitioner and the alleged victim, but the victim called up and wanted certain things to be given. Soon thereafter, the victim committed suicide.
It also appears from the report filed by the State today that the petitioner was in Saudi Arabia at the relevant time. It will be for the Courts to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case.
Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on the further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation, shall meet the investigating officer as and when required, shall surrender before the jurisdictional court within eight weeks from this date and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.
The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
